During my seven years as a financial advisor, I often had two-hour phone calls with clients. Armed with my cheat sheet of English-to-Mandarin financial terms and Google Translate, I would explain the basics of investing in my second language. It got easier each time, but it was still hard. It was also really worthwhile to me.
